Now that I finally have my National Treasure course out of the way, I'm looking forward to diving into this one (after taking a bit of a break).
I don't have anything started, but I have an idea in my head. And it's not going to be like anything I've done before. In fact, it may be unlike anything anyone's done before. It will be fairly abstract. But very playable. And it will give tons of options to the players.
I may flame out, but I'm looking forward to presenting something new.
I wanted to edit this thread since my inspiration has changed from what I was initially thinking. Here is my survivor course backstory:
I was recently approached by the Austin, TX city council. They came to me with a request for proposal. Zilker Park, they said, is a destination in the heart of Austin, where millions of people of all shapes, sizes, ages, ethnicities, persuasions come together to enjoy the virtually year-round great weather. Available for these people are extensive hike/bike/running trails through beautiful landscape; expansive open spaces for relaxation, contemplation, or play; venues for one of the largest outdoor music festivals, Austin City Limits (ACL); a botanical garden; a natural spring which feeds beautiful Barton Creek and ultimately the Colorad River; disc golf courses; and a plethora of other enjoyable outdoor activities.
They want me, they said, to take all of that beautiful land, run those hippies off, and create a parkland golf club which will become the premier golf destination of Texas.
So the basic layout and infrastructure of the Zilker park area will remain, but I get to turn the heavy equipment loose to move some ground. The course will be wide open with immense shared fairways, tree lined intra-park roads, minimal elevation change, but with man-made undulation, and will be backdropped by the Austin downtown skyline.
Look for development and preview pictures soon!
